Fermi Scientific Linux. What is it?
,----[ Quote ]
| So the geegazoids at Fermi Lab and other places apparently got together to
| generate a version of Linux that is as close to Red Hat as you can get and
| still be Open Source legal. It is Red Hat. Yet it is not.

Is Linux ready for your Small Business?

| Start Switching Applications Now. When you decide to start down this road,
| one of the best things you can do is to start switching applications now.
| Start installing Firefox on your Windows machines and encourage users to use
| it instead of IE (I would even suggest changing the default browser). Most
| linux IM clients also have a working Windows version. Install OpenOffice and
| remove Microsoft Office. That last one will probably cause the most
| complaints.

IBM launching a platform for SMB opportunity
,----[ Quote ]
| It runs on Linux and encompasses everything an SMB would need from an IT
| perspective, including e-mail and collaboration with Lotus Notes and Domino,
| file management, directory services, back-up and recovery, firewall,
| anti-virus, anti-spam and the Lotus Symphony office suite.
|
| “We've completely masked all the administration complexity usually associated
| with these systems so its transparent to the SMB,” said Sean Poulley,
| vice-president of online collaboration services on the IBM software
| group. “What we've also done is completely masked Linux from the end user,
| and if you don't think that's possible you've never used TiVo.”
